Jeremiah 49:23 Context
21The earth is moued at the noise of their fall: at the crie, the noise thereof was heard in the red Sea. 22Behold, he shall come vp and flie as the eagle, and spread his wings ouer Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mightie men of Edom, be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 23¶ Concerning Damascus, Hamath is confounded, & Arpad, for they haue heard euil tidings, they are faint hearted, there is sorrow on the sea, it can not be quiet. 24Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth her selfe to flee, and feare hath seised on her: anguish and sorrowes haue taken her as a woman in trauell. 25How is the citie of praise not left, the citie of my ioy?
